Texas Dad Acquitted in Shooting Death of Drunken Driver Who Killed 2 Sons

2 years ago

A Texas man is not guilty of murder for the death of the drunk driver who killed his kids. A Brazoria County jury ruled Wednesday afternoon that there wasn't enough evidence to prove David Barajas was the one who shot Jose Banda in 2012.

Banda had just slammed into Barajas' truck and killed his young children. Prosecutors unsuccessfully argued Barajas was the only man who could have killed Banda, even though police never found the murder weapon and Barajas tested negative for gunpowder residue.
